I was walking down the hallway at school on my way to the bus for dismissal. A kind friend ran up behind me and told me to take her sweatshirt and tie it around my waist. I was mortified the whole bus ride home. I sat in the front seat and I don’t think I talked to anyone the whole ride because I was so anxious that I would stain my friend’s sweater AND the bus seat. Longest. Ride. Ever.
I was grateful my mom was home from work that day. I cried from embarrassment as soon as I walked in and she saw what was up. She helped me immediately get cleaned up and situated with my very first pad. Enter: womanhood.
